Liz Carmouche Shaves Head to Secure Weight for PFL Chicago Title Fight

Liz Carmouche left nothing to chance during weigh-ins for this Friday's PFL event in Chicago. The former Bellator champion, who is scheduled to face Jena Bishop in the main event at the WinTrust Arena, opted for a dramatic measure to ensure she hit the required mark for their title fight.

Ahead of the contest for the vacant PFL women’s flyweight championship, Carmouche arrived at the scales on Thursday. Reports from MMA Fighting indicate that the veteran fighter took the proactive step of shaving her head to reach the weight limit successfully.

This bout serves as a rematch between the two flyweight contenders. Carmouche and Bishop are set to headline the PFL Chicago card, with the flyweight title being the primary stakes for the night. The extreme measures taken to satisfy the athletic commission's requirements underscore the importance of this championship opportunity for both athletes.

Official confirmation from the PFL regarding the successful weigh-in of all main card participants is expected following the conclusion of the proceedings.
